This means less smoke, and less harmful emissions.

Another great benefit of a wood-burning stove is that it's an eco-friendly source of fuel, which is great for the environment. By purchasing locally sourced wood, you can also help to support the active conservation and management of forests. This is great for wildlife.

In terms of maintenance concerned, the only requirement for a wood burner is to remove and scoop up the ash. It can be quite a challenge but it's worth it to get the best heat from each log.

If properly maintained, wood-burning fireplaces and stoves emit very little pollutant when they are used with dry and seasoned wood. If they aren't properly maintained or when they use wood of poor quality the smoke produced is a result of fine particles, often referred to as particulate pollutants, which can irritate lungs and other body organs. It also contains carbon monoxide and toxic air pollutants like formaldehyde, benzene and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Inhaling this kind of air pollution may cause irritation to the lung wheezing, coughing and asthma attacks and may even cause serious health issues such as cancer, heart disease or premature death.

Many are concerned that wood-burning stoves can contribute to climate changes However, this isn't true. Burning wood produces energy that is carbon-neutral. Throughout the lifetime of a tree it absorbs carbon dioxide and when it is burnt, the absorbed carbon is released back into the atmosphere.

The wood is local, which decreases the amount of pollution emitted in the transportation process. It is important to use hardwoods that are seasoned and of top quality. They will burn longer and more evenly than softwoods.

Modern wood stoves, like the ones manufactured by Charlton & Jenrick, emit less carbon dioxide than older stoves. They have been tested and certified to meet the 2020 EPA standards, which are significantly more stringent than the previous emission limits.

To avoid the buildup of exhaust within your home, all wood-burning stoves should be vented to the outside. All of our current DEFRA-exempt, clean-burn stoves produce clear exhaust when keeping the flames at a distance from the wood logs and by using dry and seasoned firewood.

A wood-burning stove with a catalytic converter could be the ultimate low carbon heating option. These units ignite gasses and particles released from the initial combustion in a second phase by mixing them superheated air. They then channel the remaining gases and particulates through a catalytic combustor to create the third and final combustion, further decreasing emissions to levels well below government standards.

Clean Burn

Cleanburn wood stoves are designed to burn fuel with the highest efficiency possible. This results in a minimum amount of emissions of particles into the air when burning wood. The air management system of the stove regulates the intake and ventilation of gases to ensure the combustion process is conducted in a safe and controlled environment. It also regulates the flame's height to maximize heat output and minimize emissions.

This means that your chimney and surrounding area will be cleaner than older stoves. Particulate matter (also known as particle pollution) from wood that is not fully combusted causes respiratory issues like wheezing and coughing in people and can lead to the development of heart disease such as stroke, diabetes, and other serious health problems. The smoke caused by wood burning is a contributory factor in poor urban air quality.

Smoke from poorly burned timber is a source of fine particulate pollutants as well as hazardous air pollutant such as carbon monoxide as well as other harmful air pollutants like nitrogen oxides as well as volatile organic compounds (VOCs) as well as benzene and formaldehyde. These particles can reach deep into the lungs and other organs which can cause discomfort, damage and even death. Airborne dust can also damage surfaces within your home with a smudge-like feel.

It is essential to use only high-quality, seasoned and dried firewood for your fireplace with a wood burner. The most effective woods for heating are hardwoods such as oak, ash and beech. Hardwoods are dense and BTU content and they provide more heat than softwoods.

It is also important to determine if your local authority has any rules regarding wood burning. These may include nuisance/odor rules and visible emissions, or opacity limits for smoke.

It is important to keep the glass of a wood stove that has glass fronts free of grime and deposits. You can use a dry towel or oven cleaner spray for this. Alternatively, you can mix bicarbonate of a soda with a bit of water to the glass.

Regular maintenance of your chimney and stove is also essential. This includes regular chimney cleanings to eliminate creosote and ensure the proper functioning of your flue. Also, make sure you mark dates for periodic inspections in your calendar, as this will allow you to avoid expensive repairs and prolong the longevity of your wood burner.

When you use a wood stove to heat your home, you'll be able to reduce your carbon footprint when compared to other fossil sources of energy like gas. Modern wood stoves and inserts have been designed to meet EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) standards, which means that they produce very low emissions. The more well-seasoned wood is, the more efficient it will be which means you'll burn less of it to get the same amount of heat.

electric fireplaces require some attention and maintenance. They should be placed away from the combustible materials and have a screen. Making sure the grate is free of debris and ash will help air flow and prevent the ethonal fire from dying out too quickly. Also, it will keep your indoors clean. It is recommended that your stove and chimney swept every year at least two times to prevent creosote build-up which could create a dangerous fire hazard and obstructions that could hinder ventilation.
